Xu Huaigu took the unconscious Li Ziyu sword northward, and the scenery under his feet passed by in an instant. The sound of Yang Yun and Bingfeng fighting each other behind him was terrifying, but he never looked back.
He knew in his heart that Yang Yun was determined to die. The difference between one realm and another is like a chasm. He is no match for Bingfeng, and he refuses to escape, fearing a narrow escape from death.
I think the spirit of the so-called sword immortal must be like that of Yang Yun. For no reason, he remembered what Zuo Qiuxun said back then. When Zixia Sect Master rescued him, she said, "For my swordsmanship, there is never a question of whether it is worth it or not, only whether it is willing or not."
What an unworthy but willing sword! Only such a sword can be said to be elegant and unrestrained, and it can have the spirit of a swordsman!
After experiencing Yang Yun's sword attack today, Xu Huaigu had a deeper understanding of this sentence. When Feijian drove to the top of the general wall, Xu Huaigu saw the dense military camps stationed below.
From west to east, the land stretching for more than forty miles was filled with troops ready to go. Xu Huaigu estimated that there were about 500,000 people here.
This is just a garrison. There are seven or eight garrison areas of this size in the south of Dayu Kingdom, all of which are located in dangerous places that military strategists must compete for.
The four countries that Dayu had worked so hard to assemble, a total of five million troops, were determined to die. Even if the fish died, they would still have to break through the net.
Xu Huaigu frowned, feeling sad in his heart. How many people must have died in such a protracted war! How many families will be destroyed and displaced?
But this is an indisputable fact. Even though Xu Huaigu was heartbroken, he could not stop the tide of the times.
The general wall was full of troops and the people had mostly fled, so it was not worth staying. Xu Huaigu found Qishui and went down the river with his sword.
He was going to Xingqing to meet Zhang Xiaohe there. After all, Xingqing was probably the safest place in Dayu for the time being.
Flying swords are not allowed to enter or leave the big city on earth, so Xu Huaigu fell in the woods outside Xingqing City. He carried Li Zi on his back and walked towards the city gate.
There was a long queue at the city gate, at least several hundred people, all waiting to enter the city. Although the official news has not been released, the large-scale mobilization of the army will inevitably go unnoticed. Perhaps these people also sensed that the war in the south was coming, so they all left their homes and fled here.
Although there were many people lining up to enter the city, there were also many guards guarding the city gate. Xingqing was already overcrowded, and they had accepted orders from above and no longer allowed refugees to enter the city.
As a result, the anxious queue grew longer and longer, and the guards guarding the gate also had their own difficulties. They raised their weapons and pointed them at the restless crowd.
The depressed scene of this school was completely different from when Xu Huaigu first came to Xingqing, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.
The city gate is impassable, but Xu Huaigu is not an ordinary person, so naturally there are other ways. Li Zi on his back was still unconscious, and he had to quickly find a place for her to lie down and rest.
Xu Huaigu walked to the base of the city wall. He found a remote and uninhabited place, took out a shukudi talisman from his robe, injected a little spiritual energy, and immediately the two figures entered the city wall.
This shrinking earth talisman is magical when you think about it. When Yu Qin was rescued from prison, he also relied on these talismans.
After so many years, it is used again. Xingqing City was already full of people. As soon as Xu Huaigu and Li Zhi entered the city, they bumped into several refugees sitting on the ground.
Several of them were dumbfounded, looking at Xu Huaigu suddenly appearing in front of them as if they had seen a ghost.
Xu Huaigu ignored it and hurriedly walked towards the center of the city. He still remembered the Xianjia Inn where he stayed. It was the same hotel they had made an appointment with Zhang Xiaohe before. He had to go there as soon as possible.
After passing through the noisy streets and alleys, the inconspicuous inn appeared in front of him. Fortunately, there don't seem to be many people here.
Xu Huaigu walked into the store, hurriedly took out a few small beads and put them on the counter, and said: "I want a room." The proprietress sitting behind the counter glanced at the small beads and did not reach out to take them. She smiled, but Said: "My lord, these days are not what they used to be. A few beads cost several years. The cheapest room now costs one big bead for one night." Xu Huaigu frowned slightly, took back the bead money, and said "It's so expensive? How can those monks afford to live there?" The landlady explained helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. Why don't you go out and see how many other places there are in Xingqing City?" Is the Xianjia Inn open? The bosses are well-informed and have their own connections. They all know what is going to happen, so they all packed up and fled, so the price went up." Xu Huaigu asked: "Then why don't you leave? "The landlady said: "If I leave, won't the guests have no place to live?" Xu Huaigu snorted, he was just a black-hearted businessman who was struggling to make a fortune, but he was too lazy to argue with her now.
Anyway, Xu Huaigu was not short of money, so he asked her for a good room and paid for it. He put Li Zi on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and fed her a few pills to help her recover.
Li Zi was just mentally exhausted and exhausted. She would be fine after some sleep. Xu Huaigu was not very worried about her situation. He was still thinking about the battle between Bingfeng and Yang Yun in Qingling.
Thinking that this battle has already come to an end, Yang Yun must be in danger, and Xu Huaigu feels very uncomfortable.
But everything must be looked forward to. This battle is over, and the highlight is yet to come. Xu Huaigu knew that the imperial court of Dayu had made a lot of preparations for the invasion of the demon clan. In recent years, it could be said that it had put aside all other things and only focused on resisting the demon clan.
Xu Huaigu also looked forward to what Dayu would be able to do in this battle. Besides, there are many old acquaintances of his in Xingqing City, such as Yi Jia, Ping Cui, and Lin Cangyang. Now that he has returned to Xingqing, these old friends should also pay a visit.
Xu Huaigu was ready to do it, but he had to wait for Li Zi to wake up first, otherwise he would be worried.
He sat on the edge of Li Zi's bed and looked at her quietly. Li Zi's face was serene and peaceful, which reminded him of what the two of them had experienced back then.
At that time, both of them were still young children, and they were able to get out of Qingling under the leadership of Sun Xiang.
Suddenly, twelve years passed in a blink of an eye. The two met again. It was not a surprise, but Xu Huaigu was very satisfied.
At least Li Zi is still the same Li Zi as before, and he is still the same person as before. Even though the years are eroding year after year, the shadow of bravery and sincerity can still be clearly seen in them.
The sun outside the window gradually tilted towards the west, and the setting sun fell on the clouds like a terrible stream of blood. Xu Huaigu sat on the edge of Li Zi's bed, closing his eyes and concentrating, and before he knew it, several hours had passed.
At night, there was a rapid knock on the door. Xu Huaigu only thought it was Zhang Xiaohe and hurriedly went to open the door, only to see Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo outside the door.
It turned out that Yang Yun was fighting Bingfeng, and while Xu Huaigu and Li Zi were trying their best to help, Jiang Chengcuo saw that the battle was not going well, so he retreated and ran into Xingqing City, with Bai Xiaoyu naturally following behind.
Bai Xiaoyu had witnessed the ice phoenix flying to Qingling in the Demon Realm before. However, even though she also appeared in demonic form, her speed was still incomparable to that of the ice phoenix, so she was still a step too late and failed to report to them in time.
When Xu Huaigu saw Bai Xiaoyu, he quickly invited her into the room and asked, "Sister Bai, how did you know I'm here?" Bai Xiaoyu looked anxious and said, "I have my own way. Fortunately, nothing happened to you. But I'm worried to death. By the way, where is Li Zi? Where is she?" Xu Huaigu pointed out Li Zi who was still asleep on the bed. Bai Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward, checked her pulse, and came closer. After smelling her face, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's nothing serious, I'm just too tired. What did you do to make her so tired?" Xu Huaigu sighed and turned them over Tell the truth about helping Yang Yun.
After hearing this, Bai Xiaoyu frowned and reproached: "You're confused, you're confused! In such a dangerous matter, if there is even the slightest mistake, both of you will be dead. If Bing Fengxin is more ruthless, what will happen?" Maybe Yang Yun is not loyal enough, you two will die today, what should I do!" Xu Huaigu knew that the reason why Bai Xiaoyu joined the Demon Sect back then was to save him and Li Zi in troubled times in the future. If they die, Bai Xiaoyu's more than ten years of planning had all come to nothing. She was really angry today. Even Jiang Chengcuo on the side didn't dare to speak.
Xu Huaigu was in a dilemma and apologized to her for a long time. Bai Xiaoyu still frowned and said: "You and Li Zi are both grown up and have your own ideas. I can't control it anymore. Alas, you can make your own troubles. Go ahead, but I still have to advise you, never place your hopes on Dayu's army. As soon as a war begins, Dayu will be coerced. When Xu Huaigu heard this, he hurriedly asked: "The two armies are facing each other, and the winner is still undecided." , how to say this? Could there be some hidden secret in it? "Bai Xiaoyu seemed to realize that he had said too much, so he pursed his lips and did not answer him.
But how smart is Xu Huaigu? With just such a small movement, he understood that the Demon Sect must have another plan in Xingqing City.
After a moment of silence, Xu Huaigu said: "Sister Bai, I know you care about me, and I'm very grateful. It's just that you care about me, treat me like a relative, and don't want to see me in any danger, but don't you know that I also have people I like and care about? "
"I know many people in Xingqing City, all of whom are old acquaintances of mine. When the war comes, I can leave, but what will they do? According to you, Sister Bai, Dayu's army will collapse as soon as possible. "Disband" is just a simple sentence, but under this sentence, how many soldiers died in battle? How many relatives were heartbroken for them? Is their life not life? Sister Bai, if you really If you love me, tell me what the Demon Sect has planned in Xingqing, instead of just telling me to leave quickly." Bai Xiaoyu looked very disappointed, and his lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say a word.
No matter what, Bai Xiaoyu favored Xu Huaigu, but she was still from the Demon Sect, and her stance was different. Xu Huaigu could handle the details, but in the big picture, she couldn't leak the secret, otherwise not even her master would be able to spare her.
The Demon Sect's plan in Xingqing City was very involved and lasted eight years. In fact, Xu Huaigu also experienced that incident back then, so there would naturally be clues for him to find. If he could find the answer himself, it would have nothing to do with Bai Xiaoyu, but she couldn't tell him directly under any circumstances.
After all, these two people with different positions still had a rift in their hearts. Bai Xiaoyu was so confused that she didn't know how to face Xu Huaigu. She apologized twice and left in a hurry.
Jiang Chengcuo stayed, said a few good words about his senior sister to Xu Huaigu, sighed helplessly, and followed Bai Xiaoyu.
The two people who came in a hurry left in a hurry, and only Li Zi's weak breathing was left in the room. Xu Huaigu opened the window, stood by the window and looked at the street. He watched Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo disappear on the streets of Xingqing at night, feeling troubled.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Bai Xiaoyu loved him, but she also had her own difficulties. That's all, this meeting ended on bad terms, I'll just apologize to her next time.
Xu Huaigu sighed sadly, sat on a chair, looked out the window at the night scene, and slowly waited for the next day.
